You know, Country & Western!
This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.

Valentine’s mixes won’t be out until the end of the day, but love (or the lack there of) isn’t restricted to a Hallmark calendar. Or is it? Anyway, here’s a taste.
Song of the Day: Gillian Welch - Revelator.
I’m not what I’m supposed to be
but who could know if I’m a traitor?
Time’s the revelator.Leavin’ the valley, fucking out of sight. I’ll go back to Cali, where I can sleep out every night.

My First Lover // Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings
This is why I love country music, and especially why these two are my favorite. Just look at them. Look at the movement of their fingers. This is the final cut of this song off the album. Without any huge production or editing her voice or any other bullshit. Just two amazingly talented people and a microphone. It’s perfect.
